One of the people that I have known (now deceased) told of driving from Southern California to a conference in Alberta, Canada, then continuing to the USA Midwest and East Coast as a rep for a small railroad publisher. This was at the time of one of the oil embargoes, etc. and gasoline prices were going up and up and the mechanical gasoline pumps were having to be changed to measure in liters, etc.

He had been keeping gasoline mileage information -- but then "threw up his hands" because of US gallons, Imperial gallons, liters !!
